As a fan who has followed the CBA for over a decade, I must say that this year's league format is incredibly interesting. After numerous rounds of competition, the strength levels of the 20 teams in the league have become clearly visible, and the gaps between the teams are gradually becoming apparent. Let me give you a thorough analysis. The most attention-grabbing aspect is undoubtedly the fierce competition among the seven top-tier teams. Guangsha, Shanxi, Zhejiang, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Shandong, and Beijing - these seven teams are locked in intense battles that can only be described as a clash of titans. Under the new rules, each game limits foreign players to a maximum of 7 appearances across 4 quarters. This change has effectively broken the previous pattern where certain teams relied on foreign players to dominate, making the competition even more intense. Although Guangsha boasts a luxurious lineup, their head coach's performance falls short, and his on-the-spot decision-making during critical moments often leaves fans on edge. Shanxi has shown solid overall strength this season, but they lack playoff experience, and their bench depth is also a concern. Zhejiang's foreign players have been impressive, and their style of play is highly entertaining, but their young domestic players still need to accumulate more experience. Xinjiang and Liaoning are both considered traditional powerhouses, but unfortunately, they have been plagued by injuries this season, leading to inconsistent form. Shandong's domestic strength is admittedly average, while Beijing still has room for improvement in terms of foreign player selection and coaching staff configuration. Moving on to the…

Although Sun Minghui may not have many advantages when facing some European and American teams, he is definitely capable of holding his own on the Asian stage. Unfortunately, during this summer's overseas training camp and the recent Asian Qualifiers, Sun Minghui failed to catch the eye of Guo Shiqiang. Frustrated but determined, he has continued to prove himself in this season's league matches. If China wants to avenge their loss against Japan in next month's Asian Qualifiers, Guo Shiqiang should really consider bringing Sun Minghui back into the national team. In Guangsha's recent 114-75 victory over Guangzhou, Sun Minghui started for 34 minutes, shooting 5 out of 10 and scoring 15 points with 12 assists and 10 steals, achieving an impressive triple-double. His plus-minus rating of +43 was the highest on the team. It's worth noting that Guangsha only won by 39 points, yet Sun Minghui contributed to a net win of 43 points while on the court, which is quite remarkable. Despite his weakness in outside shooting, Sun Minghui can be difficult to contain when he finds his rhythm. In a previous match where he led the team to defeat Guangdong, he made 8 out of 16 three-pointers, scoring a total of 31 points. Additionally, his ability to break through defenses and organize plays is something the current national team desperately needs. If Zhao Jiwei continues to struggle with injuries, Sun Minghui should not only be included in the national team but also considered as the main point guard by Guo Shiqiang. Currently averaging 15.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 9.2…

In the CBA regular season, Zhejiang Guangsha defeated Qingdao with a score of 103-89, firmly occupying the top spot on the leaderboard! Guangsha, ranked first, did not stop there; they introduced new foreign aid Boban, a message confirmed by Guangsha's head coach Wang Bo after the game, emphasizing that Boban's joining is a significant enhancement to their strength. Boban stands at an impressive height of 2.24 meters and is Serbian, with several years of NBA experience, having played for teams such as the Spurs, Pistons, and Mavericks. This season, Boban has been playing in the European league, representing Fenerbahce of Turkey, averaging 12.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, and in Euroleague games, he averages 4 rebounds and 3.6 points. It is clear that Boban can play a role in guarding the paint and grabbing rebounds. For Guangsha, Hu Jinqiu has always needed a qualified substitute, and this season, the CBA's foreign aid policy has changed to 4 quarters with 7 foreign aid slots, allowing Guangsha the opportunity to sign multiple big foreign players as reserves, easing the pressure on Hu Jinqiu. As a blue-collar power forward, Boban, standing at 2.24 meters, can contribute in the CBA. Guangsha has built a team capable of contending for the championship title, having reached the finals twice in past seasons and even leading Liaoning with a big score of 2-1 in the semifinals. However, during crucial moments, key players often get injured, especially Hu Jinqiu, who frequently suffers serious injuries in the playoffs, leading to his season being cut short, causing Guangsha's annual…

Translation of the article content into English: Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has been going through a tough time recently. Their new recruit, Patton, has been unable to make his debut due to a small clarification letter, and the team was defeated twice by their opponents in the Beijing-Liaoning match, causing many fans to worry about the future direction of the team. The efficiency of the Greek side is really worrying. Patton has already flown from Shenyang to Beijing to train with the team, but because a clarification letter for the year 2025 has not arrived, this expensive foreign aid can only anxiously wait on the sidelines. This matter is quite interesting. Patton clearly has a clarification letter for 2024, but the CBA insists on one for 2025. As a result, it coincided with Christmas and New Year holidays in Greece, and the staff responsible for document approval are probably on vacation, so this matter has been delayed. Yang Ming appeared particularly helpless in the post-match interview. He did not expect that bringing in a foreign aid would encounter so many twists and turns. He originally hoped that Patton could help in the Beijing-Liaoning match, but he couldn't even get registered. The team's current situation is indeed a bit awkward. Ture has not played a game for more than eight months due to injury, and his condition must not keep up. Although Patton has maintained his competitive state in European leagues, he cannot play due to procedural issues. Honestly, even if Patton can complete registration quickly, Liaoning's frontcourt problems are not…

The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued with a focus on the intense match between the strong Shandong men's basketball team away and the traditional powerhouse Xinjiang men's basketball team. Ultimately, Shandong won a hard-fought victory over Xinjiang with a score of 111-107, thanks to the outstanding performances of key players such as Yu Dehao, Gao Shiyan, Guo Kai, and Chris. Notably, Shandong faced multiple unfavorable "controversial calls" from the referees during crucial moments, but Qiu Biao still led the team to victory. This win not only ended Xinjiang's undefeated home record but also solidified Shandong's position among the championship contenders. In this game, Shandong almost exhausted all their resources. Despite key players like Chris, Gaili, and Guo Kai being fouled out, Yu Dehao hit three crucial three-pointers against his former team in the final quarter, helping Shandong secure the win with Moore's relentless three-point shots. During the decisive moments, Guo Kai's steal was met with a fatal "controversial call," allowing Xinjiang two valuable free throws while Guo Kai, who had an excellent game, was unfairly fouled out without committing any fouls. Additionally, Tao Hanlin, Shandong's main inside player, was repeatedly fouled without receiving any calls, forcing Shandong to accept "turnovers" and lose possession. Moreover, Shandong, including Gaili, did not receive additional free throws for several clear 2+1 plays. Despite these extremely "unfavorable" circumstances, even facing what could be described as "5 against 8," Shandong managed to explode and win away at Xinjiang, impressing fans of CBA teams. It can be said that, based on this game's…

When the news came that Guangsha had signed Boban Marjanovic, many fans expressed that the CBA was about to reach its grand finale. And now, Boban is on his way to Hangzhou, where he will represent Guangsha Men's Basketball Team in the CBA league. But does the CBA really come to an end because of Boban's arrival? It cannot be denied that Boban has a significant influence among Chinese basketball fans. After all, he used to be the tallest player in the NBA, standing at 2.24 meters tall and playing for the Spurs, earning the affection of head coach Gregg Popovich. However, in this era dominated by small-ball tactics, pure centers like Boban have gradually lost their status. After leaving the Spurs, he moved around to other NBA teams without securing consistent playing time. Now, at 36 years old, Boban's athletic ability and speed can no longer keep up with European and American leagues. Coming to the CBA seems like a good choice. Just look at Liu Chuanxing, who stands at 2.2 meters tall and struggled in both the Australian NBL and even the Japanese league, but upon returning to the CBA, he appears to be on track to becoming the top center, which shows how slow the overall offensive and defensive pace of the CBA is. However, Boban is already 36 years old, and considering Guangsha coach Wang Bo's use of players, it is likely that he will overuse Boban. So the question arises, can Boban's physical condition really last until the end of the season? More importantly, Boban's…

As the CBA league progresses, this season has already entered the fierce competition of the first 24 rounds. Although the performance of foreign players from various teams is eye-catching, the competitive state of domestic players is also attracting attention, especially on the scoring list, where the rise of several young players is impressive. So, who stands out on the scoring list this season and has become the focus of fans' attention? According to the latest data, Lin Wei tops the domestic player scoring list with an average of over 20 points per game. Let's take a look at the top ten domestic players on the CBA scoring list and see which players have made remarkable achievements this season. Lin Wei (Tongxi Team) - The Rise of Young Players The 21-year-old Lin Wei has shown excellent scoring ability this season, becoming the leader of the scoring list. With an average of 20.9 points, plus 3.3 rebounds and 5 assists, he demonstrates his comprehensive basketball skills. Although Tongxi Team's overall performance is average, ranking 11th, Lin Wei has scored double digits in 20 consecutive games, showing his potential that cannot be ignored. If he can maintain this state, his future career will undoubtedly be full of promise. Hu Jinqiu (Guangsha Team) - Absolute Dominance in the Paint As Guangsha Team's pillar in the paint, Hu Jinqiu ranks second with outstanding statistics of 19.8 points and 8.5 rebounds. His efficient offensive ability and excellent rebounding protection have enabled Guangsha Team to currently rank first in the league. As a mature 27-year-old player, Hu…

According to the team reporter Guan Xin, Guangdong Southern Tigers' newly signed foreign player Les is upset because he cannot get on the court and will be cut by the club. Guangdong has officially offered a 1.97m forward named Bart from NBL Guangxi Weizhuang. Bart's playing style is similar to that of Weems, with excellent ball-handling ability. The only concern is whether he can adapt to the physicality of the CBA. However, since Bart is currently without a contract, Zhu Fangyu can definitely give him a try. After all, a foreign player who can score 30 or 40 points in the NBL is certainly stronger than Les. In the view of many Guangdong fans, the trigger for Les' emotional outburst is Du Feng's coaching strategy. In an away game against Jilin Northeast Tigers with a lead of more than 40 points, Les only got 2 minutes of playing time. Anyone would feel unhappy about this. If Les is not capable, the club should not have spent money signing him. Since they did sign him, regardless of whether his monthly salary is 10,000or10,000 or 10,000or20,000, the club still has to pay for his travel, meals, and accommodation. Why not give him more time to play and prove himself? It would be better to let him play for a quarter and then cut him if he fails, rather than being benched with less than 10 minutes of total playing time. According to previous information revealed by Xu Limin, Zhou Qi will return to play against Liaoning Flying Leopards. Zhou Qi had been…

Is the CBA really coming to an end? The Guangsha team, currently at the top of the standings, has signed Boban Marjanovic, who stands at 2.24 meters tall, to form an interior double tower with Hu Jinqiu, who has been selected for the national team multiple times. This move strengthens their last weakness, and this year presents their best opportunity to compete for the championship. Prior to this, Guangsha's interior height was insufficient, with the tallest being Hu Jinqiu at 2.10 meters, and the rest of the interior players standing below 2.10 meters. In a match against Shanxi, they lost a total of 10 rebounds. At a critical moment in the game, Liu Chuanxing, who stands at 2.25 meters, grabbed two offensive rebounds, which proved to be very fatal, resulting in their narrow defeat to Shanxi by a margin of two points. Signing Boban not only increases the interior height but also significantly relieves pressure on Hu Jinqiu, ensuring that he can stay healthy throughout the entire season and playoffs, greatly increasing their chances of winning the title. Boban stands at 2.24 meters tall, weighs 132 kilograms, and has an arm span reaching 2.34 meters. He is a giant from Serbia, possessing oversized hands and a good feel for the ball, as well as some basketball skills. Combined with his advantages in height, weight, and strength, he is sure to deliver a strong performance in the CBA. The only disadvantage is that he is already 36 years old, and physical fitness is a major concern. Fortunately, Guangsha has a sufficient…
